Jaipur:<\/strong> \u00a0Will Rajasthan MLA Ramesh Meena be expelled from the state assembly for levelling allegations against a former cabinet minister without permission?<\/p>\n While nobody bothers anymore about politicians screaming in assemblies, this case is different. Congress MLA from Dausa\u2019s Sapotara constituency Ramesh Meena may face expulsion from the state assembly if it is proved that he levelled allegations of corruption against former Rajasthan cabinet minister Kiran Maheshwari on the floor of the House without notifying the latter in advance.<\/p>\n Meena has been asked to prove that he served a notice on former PHED minister Kiran Maheshawari under rule 273 of Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business before accusing her of corruption.<\/p>\n The rule lays down procedure regarding allegation against a person. \u00a0\u201cNo allegation of a defamatory or incriminatory nature shall be made by a member against any person unless the member has given previous intimation to the Speaker and also to the Minister concerned so that the Minister may be able to make an investigation into the matter for the purpose of a reply.\u201d<\/p>\n While Maheshwari denies receiving any such notice, Meena claims he secured permission from the speaker before revealing corruption activities in the PHED department during Maheshawari\u2019s tenure. He says that he was allowed to speak by the Speaker.<\/p>\n On Thursday, Meena had made some comments, suggesting Maheshwari\u2019s direct involvement in corruption while she was PHED minister. Taking an exception to this, Maheshwari claimed in the state assembly that she didn\u2019t receive a notice under rule 273.<\/p>\n Meena however says that he forwarded the notice to the assembly Speaker through his secretory.<\/p>\n If it is proved that Meena didn\u2019t serve a notice, his legislative assembly membership can be cancelled as per the rules.<\/p>\n Masheshwari said that Meena not only levelled these allegations without prior permission on the floor of the house, but also made such statements to the media outside the assembly building. A \u2018privilege motion\u2019 can be moved against Meena.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jaipur: \u00a0Will Rajasthan MLA Ramesh Meena be expelled from the state assembly for levelling allegations against a former cabinet minister without permission?
